a day in the life of a profitable 23 year old daytrader

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:02]Whenever you lag discipline outside of trading, you lag discipline in trading.

[00:00:06]And if you're losing in life, you're going to lose in trading. I mean, that's it's all fractal. Well, I called that out before. I didn't like show my screen just now, but I said I'm going to take the long at once we all.

[00:00:23]>> So, >> over here, we have a high on NASDAQ that was already swept on NASDAQ. And we have a high on ES that was not swept on ES.

[00:00:30]So you want that internal high to be swept because this draw both lines. So my morning routine that I have to do and even though it's not like that incredibly well done, I have to make my bed. Um otherwise I will lose. That's not even like a joke. Like, if I do not make my bed. Hey, buddy. Boy, come on.

[00:01:02]If I do not make my bed, I will lose my trades. I will have a losing day.

[00:01:07]Unfortunately, it's a fact. Made my bed, had some food, popped my energy drinks, and now I'm sitting at the desk trying to take my trades. No, the thing about trading is there's always another opportunity. So, like whenever I take a trade, I got to walk away for a second because I got to reset my brain a little bit. Got to reset my brain a little bit because there's always another trade. If this one made me 800, the next one's going to make me 800. Uh, you can always size up and go for 1,600, but it's just not my risk reward. I'm just doing the same size, uniform size until we build a larger buffer. And now we're going to look for our next trade. And we got a little reset in between the trade. But WIN, I told you whenever we got here that we were down one R or one loss already. So now we're technically up in profit on the day because we made back.

[00:01:48]There we go.

[00:01:56]Um, it's riskreward. So, if every trade I lose 300 bucks, every win I win 800 bucks, then if I lose 300, I'm up 500 the next trade. If I lose another 300, I'm down to 200, I'm up 800. The next one I'm at,000 now. So, it's all about managing your riskreward. The best traders are the ones that win every time. They're the ones that hold on to their money the longest.

[00:02:15]Bang.

[00:02:17]That was the first trade that we ever recorded on like an outside camera. I'm [ __ ] my pants.

[00:02:24]We just have a level above that we want to get hit. So, I'm more confident in staying bullish >> right here. This like little purple dotted line I have kind of held as like a floor. So, price is like bouncing off the floor, flies through the floor, flies above the floor. So, it became like a ceiling, but then it flew through it again. So, it became a floor. So, now it's like a level of support again.

[00:02:49]Heat.

[00:03:08]Heat.

[00:03:24]700, right? But guess what?

[00:03:28]3,000 plus 1,700 is4,500.

[00:03:31]>> They're gone.

[00:03:33]>> I did pay to react them [ __ ] And now I have to like make sure I didn't get a pay on the other account just so I can get paid back.

[00:03:38]>> Points um and and market close.

[00:03:42]maintaining like a 30 minute chart. Ever since I like locked out of my account, I've just been back testing.

[00:03:48]>> Yeah, I entered up this 15-minute CISD.

[00:03:51]>> All right, so basically my plan for the next 3 weeks until 4 weeks until high rocks is my running. I feel like it's very solid. I need to definitely work in for the next 3 4 weeks on going from exercises into running and making sure I'm cool with basically running while fatigued, right? So yeah, that's one thing that I'm definitely going to start working on. Start working those into my workouts.

[00:04:10]thing is I know my partner is incredibly in shape. I know he's very very fit.

[00:04:14]He's been doing high rocks this whole time. He's been competing back and forth. Unfortunately, my main focus is definitely business work, social media.

[00:04:20]So, it is hard for me to be like, "Oh, I put my all into this." But really, what running has like turned in for me is from the thing that I always regretted and did not want to go do shown in the last high rocks to now being like, "Oh, word. I'm done training for the day.

[00:04:34]Let's go run. Oh, cool. I'm done with XYZ. Done with work. Let's go run." And it's like my mind blank. my mind clear.

[00:04:39]It's like the YouTube video I get to listen to or like the music I get to listen to. It's like a calming, chill thing.

[00:05:24]You know, I I try to like get into like the pain cave and I've been doing runs and workouts where I get into that mode, But it's more just cuz I enjoy it.

[00:06:03]Not because I'm trying to die in order to prepare for the race. Does that make sense?

[00:06:09]>> So, it's almost like a healthy balance, but it's almost like you need an unhealthy balance in order to go insanely crazy on Hierrox. So, maybe the next four weeks we're going to turn unhealthy >> and die and make money.

[00:06:21]Hello man.
